CHICAGO, ILL April 27.-The big wheat de
showed evidence of going to pieces TO day. It
is possible that the over the possibility or
a squeeze in May delivery has not entirely
pas ed, but frequently free selling by memger5
of the bull clique frightened the growing class
of small holders, and develop ed q pantCky and
uncertain feeling in the pit. This was especially
true at the open ng, when offerings were very
heavy. The ST irting prize for May delivery
was 81 &c, but ' dues dropped OF 20 rapidly
that parties having stop orders to I'll could not
e tecute them ut an where near the limits
given. 1t was not matter OF price-the trOu-
bic was to find buyers; everybody WAS selling
and no one cared TO buy, and prices dropped of
| l{05zC At the time the impression had gone
out before the opening that = clique were
| about to sc /, and for the first few
minutes there was a scramble realized, seldom
witnessed on Change. May declined &c to
! SIC, " lille June declined &c and July sIc. Dur
| ing The excl ement May dropped to li4c below
June, thou this premium was subsequently
narrowed down air. When selling ceased 10
| some extent operators began to CO.. pare notes
and they came to the conclusion chat some
| firms Identified wi, the clique hid bought very
| freely OF jane, ard this caused lirmer feeling
May advanced l2C, June q and July p c.. In
| the afternoon, however. selling was again Of
| the fierCest description, and Nay dropped tC
Size aud closed for the day at S2c or 2t4c lower
than yesterday June lc 10 and July lzclOwer.
1t was found difficult 20 analyze the days ope-
rations but the prevalent belief appeared to he
that the clique intended to sh it the load carry
ing wheat to June on other parties, removing
fear in a measure of q May Corner CleaTings
from the seabOard were 10000 Oushsls. The
amount of wheat on ocean passage increased
$50 O0O bushels. The weakness in wheat was
reelected in corn, and throughout the day spec
ulative offerings were free, causing decline Of
| 5000 the market closing at nearly inside ly
ures. Receipts were less than usual and the
estimated arrivals for to morrow were also
| small. Pork unchanged. here was q strong
pressure TO sell lard and prices broke off zoe
closing at inside figures. Short ribs declined
20625c, and closed at the lowest prices of ihe
day. The leading futures closed follows:
